How to Make Sure You Are Managing Your Online Presence
Brand Yourself
Nowadays, managing your online presence is extremely important as most individuals like to do their research before committing to something or someone. By branding yourself, while staying within your brokerages and real estate commissions guidelines, you will be able to build a strong reputation that is backed up by testimonials, resulting in referrals. At Mark Spain Real Estate, we encourage our agents to ask for reviews every time they serve a client. It is essential to brand yourself towards the market that you know you are strong in, finding your niche. Attract your target market by showing them you can sell them a lifestyle, not just a home.
At Mark Spain Real Estate, we were founded on placing the client first. It is important to us to represent a “leading with a servant’s heart mentality” in all that we do, even when we are not working. What you post online represents you, and the people you surround yourself with!
Educate Clients
As clients are looking for a home, or looking to sell a home, they are doing a lot of research to make sure they are making informed decisions. When you are up to date with the current trends and events in the industry and the market you serve, the client will have more trust in you to guide them in making informed decisions. To build your business, you need to build trust with your clients. You can easily start to build that trust if you are providing them with all of the information that they need to feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Grow Your Network
One of the biggest advantages of an online presence is being able to connect with others. As we mentioned earlier, it is crucial to educate your clients. But, where do you start, and how do you make sure that the knowledge you are giving them is something they can trust? That is where building a network becomes important. Reach out and connect with insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, contractors, interior designers, and other agents. Learn from those around you and share that with your clients to build trust. Managing your online presence will also make other industry professionals more apt to connect with you!
At our brokerage, we have created a fun and supportive environment. Our agents have multiple opportunities to work with and shadow other agents and leaders in their offices to build on each other’s knowledge. The real estate market is ever-changing, so it is important to exercise your skills and knowledge, and what better way to do that than to combine your brain with another agent? You are ⅕ of the people you surround yourself with!
Stay Ahead of Competition
Your competition will always be looking for new ways to stay ahead, which means that you need to be, too. Clients are going to navigate towards the agents that make themselves visible rather than digging for hours to find an agent. Put yourself out there to separate yourself from your competitors while also staying within your broker’s guidelines. It is possible to brand yourself while also sticking with your broker’s brand which not only makes you perceived as a trustworthy agent but also shows why it should be you above anyone else.
There are many ways to begin managing your online presence and your brand. Ensuring accuracy within the photography you choose, the verbiage around your words, and the comments are a reflection of your business. It is important to respond to all feedback consistently, kindly, and with the idea in mind of growing and improving from all feedback.
